Beautiful fabrics; I look forward to seeing how you use them. I'm a fairly new sewist and your channel is so helpful to me. Thank you! The fusible bias stay tape that you showed has added to my curiosity about various ways to stabilize fabrics. I'm rather confused about when to use things like this stay tape, clear elastic tape, bias vs. non-bias interfacings, woven/non-woven/knit interfacings, twill tapes/ribbons. If you ever feel inclined to make a video about demystifying fabric stabilization, I'd be very interested - or perhaps might you point me to good information resources that already exist and I simply haven't found yet? Many thanks, and happy sewing!
Oooh, so beautiful, luxurious, beautiful pieces of fabric. Yummy!!! Thank you for sharing. Like looking at any art, it's such a pleasure to see these fabrics.
Thanks for showing your wool fabrics. I would love to see more videos showing different types of fabric and what they would best be used for. I am a new sewist - about 2 years now. I am deeply into learning sewing the proper ways, but I have had some trouble with a couple of my garments that I made with selecting the right fabric. The suggestions on the patterns do help a bit but not completely. Thanks from Oklahoma - Linda
I have been resisting boiled wool, boucle and silk. The fact it needs to be dry cleaned puts me off. But, I so enjoy looking at and lusting after it. It is so beautiful. I look forward to your video about sewing with wool.
I really enjoyed looking at your fabrics. I haven't seen wool in such a variety of woven patterns. I have a collection of wools myself, including wool voile and wool satin. I made up the aubergine coloured satin into a dress, but I have grown out of it. Mostly, I have lovely quality wool gabardine. Like you, I don't like plaids much, unless they are cut on the bias. I have a Simplicity pattern with a photo on the envelope of a bias cut skirt with a perfectly carefully matched seam in the front. I will have to live to 180 years old, just to sew up all my wools, let alone wear them. But I have decided that they are my art collection.
Love the boucles! A tip for those with a wool fabric stash, especially if you live in a damp climate prone to moths. I store my woolens & cotton in plastic tubs and pop in a small netting bag - like a gift bag - filled with dried lavender buds. This keeps the bugs away and my fabric smelling fresh!
I live in the states I buy wool from Etsy a few shops, THE MILLS, fantastic for All things wool and print styles in medium weight, (20•F) if you live where I do and it gets -40•F then thick wool melton is your best choice
The fabrics are beautiful! I'm looking forward to the video. In our winter months, I mostly sew with wool crepe, wool gabardine & boiled wools. I see really pretty ones but I don't know much about them. Thank you
Love the wool review. Like you Karina, I caress and treasure my wools. And also cannot wear them most of the year in north Florida. Occasionally, I can find a tropical weight wool suiting which can make trousers that can we wear in air conditioning indoors in the summer months. But haven’t seen any in years. Hands down your channel continues to be my FAVORITE. Thank you so much for working so hard on so many aspects of garment construction. 💗
What a beautiful selection of wool fabrics Karina! I think my favorites are the geometric one and the blue/green one. But so so many others are just as gorgeous! Excited to see what you choose to make 😊
A lot of nice fabric. Years ago, I worked with this lady who had a skirt and matching top made of fabric like the red and black you have. Instead of hemming both pieces, she left the edges frayed, making a type of fringe on the ends, which looked really nice.
Will love to see these made up -- I have some very similar. It made me smile when you said how you visit your stash and pet the beautiful fabrics. I do the same -- so happy!
I love all those stunning pieces of fabric. Please make something with them, and show us how you do the full fusible instead of lining in a traditional manner. I have seen linen professionally fusible-lined to make it more sturdy for upholstery and wonder if it could be done with woven wool.
Thank you again for sharing your wealth of information. I cannot wait for your all about wool! I am immediately going to search the linen and any others right now.
I love love , your wool flannel. I’m not heavy into plaid or green, but that green plaid is GORGEOUS. I would totally wear a knee length straight skirt in that. 😊 Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful fabrics! I'm looking forward to your video about handling wool. I've used a lot of wool for knitting, but I don't think I've ever sewn it. I live near the coast of Washington state, USA, our winters are mild but definitely cold enough for wool. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, I've learned so much from watching your videos.
Thanks so much for sharing your stash! I enjoy hearing your ideas of how to use the fabrics -- can't wait to see the pencil skirt in the herringbone & gold fabric!
I'm excited to see your video on how to work with wool fabrics. I'm getting ready to try my hand at a coat and I'm looking forward to what I can learn from you.
So many lovely fabrics! How do you choose which one to sew first? 🤔😊 I’m looking forward to your episode on sewing with wool - any tips are always welcome. When I get loosely woven fabrics, the first thing I do is serge/overlock the cut edges. It stops the fraying and makes handling them so much easier.
Love all of these! I never thought of interfacing the entire garment! When you do that, do you interface the fabric first and then cut out your pieces, or cut first?
I interface the piece of fabric for the shape first. I cut it a little bigger all around. Then I put the pattern piece on top and cut. It takes ages :)
Love most of those fabrics, but the geometric and boucle fabrics are lovely. Just about to cut out my 100% Yorkshire woven wool fabric to make a winter coat (it's getting cold in the UK now). It's not too heavy. I made a wearable toile from some wool mix, although I don't know how much wool it actually contains - I bought it from FB marketplace and the seller wasn't sure - not much by the feel of it. I made the Love Notions Octave, shortened a little to make a jacket, but I am not keen on the off-centre button so I have decided to make the Wardrobe By Me Classic Coat.
I pat my wool fabrics too, and wonder why the heck I wasted money on them 😂 the last thing i made from a winter weight fabric was 2 winters ago and its still on my mannequin. The two cold winter days I actually go out, i never remember it’s there or i go 🥵 its not cold enough for that. Your fabrics are gorgeous! You have such a pretty variety waiting to pat there ☺️ Can’t wait to see your wool series.
I’d prefer to serge than zig zag, for times sake. I keep them safe and rarely manipulate them. Also, I won’t throw them in the wash, so that’s why I’ve left them as is.
I enjoyed your video and I’m envious, even though I live in Florida, and I’m allergic to wool. I also have to be ready to rip off that sweater or jacket when a hot flash hits. I love the look of wool and love fall/winter fashion. 😔
Lovely fabrics I ❤ them ALL. understand you completely as I live in a hot climate so I tend to buy more linen, viscose , cottons and light jerseys. I would like to ask do you use a stretch interfacing or just a light woven interfacing when interfacing the whole project in this kind of wool ? What fabric is yr preferred lining for this kind of woolen fabrics ? Tks 😊
I have used stretch interfacing and also regular VERY light weight non stretch fusible. For lining, I am loving light cotton lawn and plain weave light rayon.
@@sandracharles3990 I mentioned that I get all of mine in Brazil. That’s why I don’t share links or names of shops. I’ve never been to NY so am really no help as to where to source fabric in other countries.
It surprises me that you would stock flannel & wool. I live and learn. Wool is wonderful and real wool clothing is as scarce as hens teeth these days. I am a quilter and bought some batting tape. It is inexpensive and works great in garment sewing in areas you wish to stabilize.
Karina, you are adorable, I really enjoyed this episode.
I so enjoyed watching you “rediscover”
all your wool fabric. You were like a little child at Christmas as you brought out each piece!❤
It’s lovely to see your enthusiasm for your beautiful fabrics. Very inspiring 💕
Oh, that purple wool bland crepe is delicious!! Thank you for showing us your beautiful fabrics.
Thank you for sharing all those beautiful fabrics I'm sure you have many ideas😊😊😊

Gorgeous buclée ❤!!!
Amazing fabrics
Your wools are gorgeous. Thank you for showing them to us.
So pretty! ❤
I love wool fabric and I find sewing with it really pleasurable as it's very malleable and presses so well. Thank you for sharing your collection!
Wow, I love those fabrics. Especially the teal and red/orange one. I can't wait to see what you make. ❤
These fabrics are beautiful! I would use the geometric fabric as a cheater quilt. Or quilt it and make it into a coat.
Oooh, so beautiful, luxurious, beautiful pieces of fabric. Yummy!!! Thank you for sharing. Like looking at any art, it's such a pleasure to see these fabrics.
OMG, You are seeing my wool and tweeds on my large cutting table. I LOVE to make items for Winter! And, Chanel style jackets!
Lovely🤗

There’s a weird reason that moths don’t thrive around here. I’ve never seen one in the house! Ever. I’m glad :)

Beautiful fabrics! Your face is so lit up today….you are glowing….❤❤❤
Oh thank you! the fabric does that to me lol!
@ yes I’ve been told that too lol. ❤️❤️❤️
All those fabrics are right up my alley. I look forward to videos on sewing with wool.
Wonderful! I'm very motivated :)

I would not interface instead of lining. I do both. It’s a matter of comfort too and lining provides that.

Karina, these fabrics are beautiful. I really wish I could wear wool fabrics but no such thing. I can’t wait to see your makes. Thanks for sharing❤😊🪡🧵
I would love to see you sew the blue Chanel type jacket that you said would go well with jeans!
Gorgeous fabrics ❤❤❤

Are you able to zig zag the ends so the fabrics don’t fray away? Love those wool fabrics. Thank you for the show and tell ❤

Oh the hot flashes! I've had a few and it's an EXPERIENCE!
A merino knit would be 4 seasons and also antibiotic properties.
Unfortunately I can’t get my hands on that type of fabric here 😩
Ahhh boucle
